Para 1.20 | During 2021-22 the world began emerging from the shadow of COVID-19, but a new catastrophe – regional to Eastern Europe & Central Asia (EECA) but global in its impact – confronted PACED in the shape of the conflict in Ukraine. As well as reporting on PACED’s activities, this report describes how PACED will adapt its structure and activities to respond to the implications of this conflict. The year began with PACED completing the formation of a high-level Education Advisory Committee chaired by Fiona Rawlinson of Cardiff University and with members drawn from EECA and the West. This structure reflects PACED’s ethos of combining local knowledge and |
insights with global expertise. A totally new website was developed and launched in late summer (www.paced.org.uk), providing insights into palliative care – including by guest contributors – and describing PACED’s work. During the year PACED expanded its collaborative network. To ensure our work draws on global expertise we work with organisations including the Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA), European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC), International Children’s Palliative Care Network (ICPCN) and the International Collaborative for Best Care for the Dying Person, as well as multiple stakeholders across the EECA region. Working with the EAPC, we sponsored ten bursaries to their annual congress which was held online. Strong applications were received from people across the region who work in, teach or are postgraduate students of palliative care, and we selected delegates from Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Ukraine. PACED held a side meeting at the congress to discuss regional education priorities for EECA, and bursary delegates also attended a WHO meeting on Integrating Palliative Care into Universal Health Coverage. PACED also co-sponsored a regional meeting on the Development of Palliative Care in CIS Countries. Working with the WHPCA, EAPC, Hospice Care Professionals Association (Russia) and American Eurasian Cancer Alliance, participants exchanged experience in practice, education and research, and passed a resolution aimed at promoting regional policies to further palliative care. Additionally, at the November conference of Russia’s Hospice Care Professionals Association, attended by over 2000 participants, PACED’s Chief Executive gave a presentation on ‘New initiatives in professional education in Eastern Europe & Central Asia’. On 29 November PACED held a major pan-regional consultation on ‘Advancing Palliative Care Education in Eastern Europe and Central Asia’. Delegations from 14 countries were formed including
practitioners, educators, NGOs and government representatives. The aim was to discuss challenges relating to palliative care education in EECA, with the purpose of identifying priorities for change and informing PACED’s work programme for 2022 and beyond. Facilitators from within and outside the EECA region led discussions on two themes: how to improve professional education among specialist and nonspecialist practitioners of palliative care, with a focus on online learning methods; and how to support educators who teach palliative care in settings such as medical and nursing schools, to help raise standards of education. Two distinct groups of educators were identified: full-time educators who teach in medical or nursing schools but may lack clinical experience in palliative care, and clinicians who teach – either in their clinical settings or at educational institutions – but may lack the confidence, skills and teaching resources to maximise their effectiveness as teachers. Feedback on this consultation demonstrated the importance of the work PACED is developing, and highlighted the desire for collaboration between countries. This would encourage and provide a space for shared learning between professionals working in similar cultural and political contexts; create opportunities to use regional political and health fora and programmes to promote palliative care; and provide a mechanism to increase national and regional ownership of palliative care advancement. During Autumn 2021, Trustees concluded that it would be sensible to move the headquarters of PACED to the EECA region, while maintaining the UK charity for fundraising, networking and some programme activities. While several options were considered for where to base the organisation for the future, eventually, they decided to situate PACED in the Baltics and so, during 2022, the organisation will become registered in Estonia. We look forward to updating colleagues and supporters next year about this next stage in PACED’s work to advance palliative care in EECA, where we will continue to focus on raising standards
and educator and helping more people access the knowledge and skills to provide excellent patient and family care. One of PACED’s core interests is the procurement of medical devices. The cost of some equipment and consumables has increased significantly, and some products have become unavailable for purchase in the region. To meet the acute needs of palliative, chronic patients, children and family members under therapy, such devices will be delivered by PACED Estonia to Eastern Europe. The programme implementation is now in progress. Education programme – delivered by PACED UK: PACED is planning a hybrid Educational Course from 10-16 October 2022 in Armenia or Kazakhstan. From each country of PACED’s interest, we are expecting two students to attend in person and 10+ to attend online. We have already received considerable interest from eight countries with more than 110 applications from potential students (doctors, nurses and other workers in palliative care). The programme will cover medical themes (skin care, nutrition, respiratory care and pain relief), as well as multidisciplinary topics like the philosophy of palliative care and communication. The students attending in person will be based in a local hospital or hospice with the support of local clinicians and PACED lecturers. Some modules will be delivered through live broadcasting, including full-day webinars on topics designed around our audience’s needs. This programme is being organised with the support of working groups which PACED is forming in each country. These are intended to help us reach out to palliative care workers across the region and understand the specific needs of each country.

| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2022. As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. |
Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
